whats the best battery solution for a 360?

The 360 batteries are total garbage.  I don't know where they source their cells from but they don't last for jack.  If you don't use your 360 for a few weeks they will die and be uncharagable.  I use high quality recharagable batteries and I always have a spare set ready to go.

ummm, unplug the battery pack when you arent playing.  Theres a constant drain on the power otherwise.  My battereis always last the same amount of time, with casual play maybe a month.  And like someone else said only charge when they're almost our, as for brands, I'd get microsofts cuz they look better...doubt theres a difference in the actual batteries though.

Umm... because rechargeable are always more expensive for the good ones? The 10 dollar ones are probably some old cordless phone battery left overs that were cheap and easy to convert.

they are only garbage if you dont charge them right. allways do full charges when the battery is flat. none of this. ive played 1 hour ill charge it again when there is still 90% + power left.

i actually heard your not suposed to use regular rechargable batteries in it. Something to do witht he voltage difference. 1.5v vs 1.2v i think.

so really is just the regular old xbox battery pack the way to go? I'll try unplugging it from the controller when not in use and see if that helps. Im guessing ALL of you have the discharge problem? The only person who specifically said he doesn't is logos who says he unplugs them. Even so i hear the discharge rate on these things suck. I do have a corded controller but i enjoy the cordless one. It lets me play from my massage chair instead of the regular recliner.

Oh ya, i never use a headset. I dont got xbox live gold.

Im surprised some of you are recomending the plug n play. I have that and always found it kinda wonky.
